      “Nintendo was founded in 1889 as Nintendo Koppai by craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi and originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. After venturing into various lines of business during the 1960s and acquiring legal status as a public company, Nintendo distributed its first console, the Color TV-Game, in 1977. It gained international recognition with the release of Donkey Kong in 1981 and the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario Bros. in 1985.”

        I was wondering why the sign said “Karuta Manufacturer,” since a certain anime I watched always referred to a specific type of Japanese card game as ‘karuta.’ But I noticed ‘karuta’ sounds a lot like ‘card,’ and sure enough, found out karuta just means ‘card’ because it’s a loanword from Portuguese, carta.
